How fast does OmenSyncer copy trades?
What to expect from copy speed, which part of the delay is ours and which is your broker, and why fast copying still does not mean identical fills.
Updated
The moment your leader fills, OmenSyncer's engine routes the exact same trade to every follower in under 50 ms. What you see on top of that is however long each broker takes to accept the order.
Two parts to the timing
A copied trade has two legs, and only one is up to OmenSyncer:
- Engine time (parsing the fill, reading the TP/SL bracket, and working out which followers copy at what size) is under 50 ms. Fills come from an in-memory cache, and all followers are sent their orders in parallel rather than one after another.
- Broker and network time (your follower broker receiving the order, checking margin, and acknowledging it) is real-world time we don't control, and it's usually the larger share.
What affects the speed you see
Because the broker leg dominates, your copy time comes down to factors at your broker: how quickly the broker acknowledges orders, network latency, and whether the follower is on a different broker than the leader (a cross-broker copy travels over a separate connection). The engine stays fast no matter how many followers you have, since they all fire together.
Fast copying is not identical fills
Even when orders go out instantly, two accounts can fill a tick or two apart: the market moves between order and fill, and each broker fills independently. That is normal and happens at the broker, not a copier delay. See Different fill price than the leader.
